We are a group of 16 including 8 children under the age of 12. We rented the whole house for 3 nights in mid December.
Pre-check in
Anne has been very responsive even before we confirmed our bookings, and continued to be so even after our booking and during our stay. When we made our request to house the 8 children in 1 room, Anne kindly accomodated to our request at a nominal charge. We are very grateful for her arrangement as sleeping in the same room has always been the highlight of the trip for the children!
Location
The house is located just 10 minutes stroll away from Bang Chak BTS station.There are shops and street hawkers along the way. Hence, it is also very convenient to find food just on the same street. It is a very safe neighbourhood which is not touristy at all. Good location to experience the life of the locals. Starbucks, A&W restaurant, and 7-11 convenience store are just round the corner on the main street.
The House
The House is full of character and tells the story of the 3 generation shoemakers with its unique decorations. Although the house is multi-levelled, we have no trouble with our suitcases as there is a pulley in the house which transport our suitcases right to the level where our rooms are.
Every room has its unique theme and designs, with aircon and fan. Most importantly, every room has its ensuite bathroom that comes with fresh clean thick towels, shampoo, body wash. A few bathrooms have standing shower while others have a tub! Water pressure is good.
The kitchen is fully equipped with microwave, water flask, a standard size fridge, hob, platewares, cups, glass, cutlery, cookware, kitchen towels, etc. Water filter provides clean water that is bottled at room temperature and also placed cold in fridge, replenished everyday.
Wifi is strong in the house. The table soccer in the living room was our children's favourite!
The Host - Anne
Anne is such a lovely and hospitable host! She welcomed us personally, and even
homebaked banana muffins and prepared Roselle tea cold in the fridge for us! This was such a cool respite from Bangkok's harsh weather! Anne is very friendly yet never intrusive. At times, we did not even notice she was in the house if not that we saw her climbing down from the ladder that leads to her workroom on level 2! Anne really made us feel very at home and welcomed. Thank you Anne!
